Macromiidae ... but which one? - Macromia illinoiensis
Hastings, Ontario, Canada
August 19, 2013
Size: Body approx. 30 mm
I tried this key but still can't figure out which species it is ~ http://insects.ummz.lsa.umich.edu/~ethanbr/aim/Keys/Odonata/id_oom_macromiidae.html
The only two possibilities in my area are Didymops transversa and Macromia illinoiensis (I'm leaning toward the latter).
Habitat is rock bottomed river with forested edges.
